My reprint heart is broken.

This fits my “Send Reprints Back to the Dollar Bin Where They Belong” campaign nicely.

Soooooo many first appearances in this book and we get the Hickman minimalist reprints. Ugh. Well at least I cut my order in half. Still a very good book to own unless Hickman kills all of the Arrako Champions.

Yea, I echo all your sentiments.
Terrible 3rd print cover.
There has to be an actual reason for this terrible marketing. Like, maybe a artist was slated to do a cover and did not meet the deadline?

I think it was more like " Marvel Marketing: X-Men #12 needs to have the same cover design as the other X of Swords 2nd prints at some point…"

Wolverine 6 got this for the second print so I guess there is still hope for a 3rd print with Solem on the cover.

Yes, there might be a Solem cover for a future printing of Wolverine #6. I was just rolling the dice on a decent 1st appearance cover on the X-Men #12 3rd print. Is there enough demand for a 4th printing though? I know shop owners still have a stack of 2nd print covers.
Well, I guess I like it better than the 2nd print with only the color switch. Still not what I hoped for, but there’s something about the consistency of the graphic design reprints that I find… well… appealing.
But also glad I only ordered 2

Damn those XOS x covers. Well I ordered 2 copies so not to bad. Add with the others and toss in the box.
What an awful cover that ended up being haha

X titles typically don’t get new art for later printings.
Saw this one coming and avoided.
Yeah the cover sucks but the market is really weird…if supply is short enough, it might see heat

Anyone pick up a Venom 26 4th print today? Might be my fav. cover out of all of them. Only found them at one shop that usually orders heavy on everything, but only had 6 of these out. I picked out 3 9.8 candidates to put away until Mac puts the suit back on. None of the other shops I frequent ordered any, but there are plenty available online so nothing to go crazy about yet. I just like picking out 9.8 copies in person whenever I can.
I ordered one, but isn’t showing in my special order pick ups. Didn’t make it to LCS today. So either an error in the system, damaged, or shorted here.

I love the few scenes in varied comics over the years where Thor calmly, yet firmly reminds ole Tony they are on two completely different levels.
The best was in the Thor Series right after Civil War, when Thor was super pissed about Tony making that clone of him. That issue/scene was sooooooo good.
